Testimony of Our Lead Pastor

Pastor Mani is a former Hindu priest who came to faith in Jesus Christ through a powerful revelation of the Gospel. During a time of deep personal anguish, while in the hospital as his father suffered from stage-four cancer, the Holy Spirit encountered him, transforming his life and calling him to Christ.

He pursued formal theological education, earning both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Theology. He is currently continuing his studies by pursuing a Master of Theology (ThM) at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Pastor Mani and his wife faithfully serve together at Arise City Church. They are blessed with two sons, Abdiel and Hilkiah.

My Approach

What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.

Simple ideas

Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.

Lasting impact

We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.
